Defining Child Pornography

According to Florida statutes section 847.001, child pornography is defined as “any image depicting a minor engaged in sexual conduct.” Viewing, possessing, distributing, promoting, or producing child pornography are all illegal acts. This includes, but is not limited to, computer child pornography, print, films, or any other recorded material.

Penalties for Child Pornography

The penalties for child pornography in the state of Florida are very severe, and the prosecution may pursue felony charges. These charges can carry jail time and large fines, depending upon the specifics of the crime. For example, promotion of child pornography may carry a sentence of imprisonment for 15 years, as well as a fine of $10,000. If the person is a repeat sex offender, they will likely automatically be charged with a felony rather than a misdemeanor.

Defenses to Child Pornography

There are some defenses to child pornography which your defense lawyer can help you to build upon. These include, but are not necessarily limited to:

Entrapment – while rare, a person may make the argument that they were entrapped by law enforcement to commit a child pornography crime, and had no intention to commit such crime otherwise; or

Lack of knowledge – a person who has been charged with child pornography may argue that they had no knowledge that they were in possession of the pornography (for example, a computer containing illicit material, while belong to the defendant, had been used by another person) or that they did not know the victim was a child.

Your lawyer can help you to build a strong defense. If there is not a defense that is reasonable, your lawyer can inform you of your rights under the law and advise you regarding striking a plea bargain with the prosecution for a reduced sentence.
